If you’ve walked the streets behind Cleopatra Beach, you’ll know something right away: most of the buildings have been here for years. Their balconies are full of life—potted plants, drying laundry, a glimpse of someone’s evening tea—but they’re not new. Empty plots are few, and fresh construction is rarer still. That’s why Marla Queen Cleopatra catches your eye before you even step inside.
A single block, five stories high, set on just 547 square meters of land—it’s not trying to be a resort. Instead, it feels like something between a well-kept city apartment building and a boutique residence. And unlike many “move-in ready” listings in the area, this one is unfurnished, which means what you see is what you get—and what you get is a clean, straightforward canvas to make entirely yours.
Stepping Into the Apartment
The front door opens into a small entry hall, enough space for a coat rack or a slim console table. Light ceramic tiles run underfoot, glossy enough to bounce the daylight but not so slick that you’ll worry in wet weather.
From here, the plan opens up. The living area sits in the southwest corner, catching the afternoon sun. Even without furniture, you can tell where things will go—a sofa along one wall, maybe a coffee table, and across from it, a TV or a low cabinet. There’s enough depth to keep a dining table in the same space without feeling cramped.
The two additional rooms are similar in size, with large windows that frame either the city or the backdrop of the Taurus Mountains. In winter, the mountain peaks sometimes carry a dusting of snow, a view you can enjoy while sitting under the warm southern light.
The kitchen hasn’t been dressed up with standard-issue cabinets you might rip out in a year. You get the freedom to choose—simple and minimal if you don’t cook much, or more storage and counter space if you do.
The Atmosphere of a Small Complex
Because Marla Queen Cleopatra has only one block, there’s no maze of corridors or anonymous lobby to get lost in. You’ll probably learn your neighbours’ names within the first month.
The outdoor pool is central and easy to access. On hot days, you can hear the sound of water from the balconies above. A few steps away, the jacuzzi bubbles quietly—a small touch, but one that makes winter afternoons unexpectedly relaxing.
In a shaded corner, a gazebo and barbecue area offer a place to sit with friends or meet other residents over a weekend meal. Children have their own playground within sight of the pool, making it easier for parents to keep an eye out.
For health and fitness, there’s a compact but well-equipped gym, along with a sauna and steam room. It’s not about flashy hotel-style wellness centers; it’s about having what you’ll actually use, without having to leave the building.
Living Here Day to Day
One of the biggest advantages of this apartment is how walkable the location is.
In under ten minutes, you can be at Cleopatra Beach, towel in hand.
A short stroll brings you to Damlataş Beach for a different atmosphere—slightly quieter, with a view of Alanya Castle from the shore.
Atatürk Avenue runs nearby, lined with cafés, small shops, and bakeries where you can grab fresh bread in the mornings.
Essential services are equally close. You can walk to a supermarket in under five minutes, and there are weekly markets nearby for fruit, vegetables, and local cheeses. Banks, pharmacies, and both public and private clinics are in easy reach.
Because everything is close, many residents here don’t need a car. Public buses run along the main streets every few minutes, and taxis are easy to flag down almost anywhere.
Who Might Feel at Home Here?
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all property, but it suits a few groups particularly well.
Year-Round Residents– If you live in Alanya full-time, you’ll appreciate the balance of central location and manageable building size.
Holiday Home Buyers– The apartment’s closeness to the beach means you can arrive from the airport and be unpacked, at the sea, within hours.
Investors– New builds in Cleopatra are rare, and that scarcity supports rental yields and long-term value.
Ask any local agent in Alanya: Cleopatra is one of Alanya’s most stable micro-markets. Demand comes from both domestic buyers and international ones, which helps balance seasonal changes. New construction in this area is almost always limited to small plots, and those plots don’t come along often.
From a rental perspective, proximity to the beach and a central address make short-term lets easy to fill, especially in summer. Long-term tenants—especially those working remotely—are also drawn to the walkability and compact scale of the building.
